Neon Pink Drop Shoulder Cardigan Sweater with Balloon Sleeves | Hot Pink / S 100100837610158

Woven Right Rib-Knit Open Front Drop Shoulder Cardigan

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and measure either the garment laid flat or your body. Record measurements in inches or centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Measuring the garment (lay flat)

1. Chest / Bust (pit-to-pit): Lay the cardigan flat and smooth. Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Multiply by 2 to get the full chest circumference.
2. Center back length: Measure from the highest point of the center back neck (base of the neckline) straight down to the hem.
3. Sleeve length (from shoulder seam): Measure from the shoulder seam (where the sleeve meets the body) down to the end of the cuff. For drop-shoulder styles, use the actual seam where the sleeve attaches.
4. Sleeve length (center back method): If the shoulder seam is not at the natural shoulder, measure from the center-back neck, over the shoulder, then down to the cuff.
5. Shoulder width: If there is a shoulder seam, measure seam-to-seam across the back. For dropped seams, measure across the back from one sleeve-attachment point to the other.
6. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and multiply by 2 for circumference.
7. Cuff width: Measure the sleeve opening flat and multiply by 2.

Measuring your body

• Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your bust/chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
• Arm / Sleeve length: Measure from center back of neck, over the shoulder, and down to the wrist for a full sleeve length.
• Torso length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder down to where you want the cardigan to finish.

Fit guidance: this drop-shoulder cardigan is designed with a relaxed silhouette. Allow 2–4 in (5–10 cm) of ease for a comfortable layered look; 0–2 in (0–5 cm) for a closer fit.

Materials

This cardigan uses a right rib-knit construction — vertical ribs that give texture, stretch, and good shape recovery. Common fibers and what they contribute:

• Cotton: Breathable and soft; comfortable for everyday wear.
• Viscose / Modal: Smooth, drapey, and soft to the touch.
• Acrylic / Polyester: Lightweight, colorfast, durable, and easy-care.
• Nylon: Adds strength and abrasion resistance.
• Elastane / Spandex: Provides stretch and helps the rib retain its shape.
• Wool / Merino (if present): Natural warmth and insulation; may require gentler care.

Blends are common to balance softness, drape, warmth and durability. For the exact fiber content for this specific cardigan, please check the product details or the care label inside the garment.

Model information

Reference used in product imagery (example):

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S) — styled for a relaxed fit
• Example model measurements: Bust 32 in / 81 cm — Waist 24 in / 61 cm — Hips 34 in / 86 cm

Because the cardigan has a drop-shoulder design, it drapes with extra ease. If you prefer a slimmer look, consider sizing down; if you like extra room, size up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the garment care label first—fiber-specific instructions override general advice.
• Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Turn the cardigan inside out to protect the rib texture.
• Drying: Gently reshape and lay flat to dry to avoid stretching. Avoid tumble drying when possible.
• Ironing/Steaming: Use low heat or steam; press inside out. Steam is gentler on textured knits.
• Pilling: Remove pills carefully with a fabric shaver or sweater comb; do this sparingly to preserve yarn.
• Storage: Fold and store flat to prevent shoulder distortion. Use breathable storage and cedar or lavender to deter moths.
• Snags: Tuck snags back through to the inside with a small crochet hook rather than cutting them.
• Spot care: Blot stains promptly and test any stain treatment on an inconspicuous area first.
• Dry clean: If the label recommends dry cleaning (common for wool-rich or delicate blends), follow that guidance for best longevity.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Layer over a tee or tank with high-rise jeans and sneakers for an effortless look.
• Work-ready: Pair with a lightweight blouse and tailored trousers or a midi skirt; finish with loafers or ankle boots.
• Belted: Add a slim or wide belt to define the waist and convert the drape into a polished silhouette.
• With dresses: Throw over a slip or midi dress for added texture and warmth without hiding the outfit.
• Balance proportions: Because drop shoulders create volume on top, pair with slim or tapered bottoms for a flattering silhouette.
• Play with sleeves: Push the sleeves up for a relaxed vibe or leave them down for a cozier look.
• Accessories: Long necklaces, scarves, or structured bags add polish and visual interest to the open-front style.
• Seasonal layering: Use as a lightweight outer layer in spring/fall or as a midlayer under a coat in winter.
